Earl M. Sage, at the home of his parents in Parker Ariz. Feb. 
1909, aged 18 years, died.

Earl M. Sage, son of Mr. and Mrs. C.M. Sage was born in the 
city of Los Angeles, Dec. 3, 1889. He was an apt student and 
was attending the high school of the city when he was attacked 
with his fatal malady. Young Sage was a lover of outdoor sports 
and athletics. In a motorcycle trip to Mount Wilson, in company 
with others, the weather proved inclement, brought on a 
hemorrhage which rapidly developed into tuberculosis.  Earl 
was a dutiful son and brother without any vices usually 
acquired by boys grown to city environments. His parents 
tried to recoup his failing health by visiting the best 
health resorts on the coast, finally coming to Arizona in 
March of last year.  Phoenix and Wickenburg were made temporary 
homes, but their permanent home was made in Parker.  During 
the heated term of last summer he was taken back to the coast, 
but returned.  The bereaved family have the sympathy of 
everyone in Parker.  Burial will be in Parker Cemetery.
